The educational system in China and the educational system in the United States mainly lie in the differences in educational environment caused by outwitting teaching methods, teachers' teaching thinking towards students and the whole social environment. Their specific differences are as follows:
1. The difference between China and the United States lies in the different teaching objectives of primary education in the two countries: the primary goal of primary education in China is to develop children's intelligence and achieve high welfare for children; In the United States, primary education has only one purpose: to cultivate children's creativity.
2. Education in China pays attention to inculcating knowledge, cultivating students' respect for knowledge and authority, inheriting knowledge and building a knowledge system. The United States pays more attention to cultivating students' practical ability to use knowledge, paying more attention to cultivating students' questioning attitude towards knowledge and authority, and expanding and creating knowledge through criticism and reflection.
3. For China students, most of them lack the spirit of creation and innovation, and pay too much attention to solid basic education. For American students, most of them lack a solid foundation, which is caused by the differences in educational environment.
4. American schools encourage children to do research from an early age, and cultivate their research ability, the ability to deal with problems independently, and the ability to organize sports research methods for learning materials. However, under the restriction of exam-oriented education, schools in China all adopt a two-stage strategy of laying the foundation in the primary stage and learning in the advanced stage.
The difference between China and the United States lies in the different teaching objectives of primary education in the two countries: the primary goal of primary education in China is to develop children's intelligence and achieve high grades; In the United States, the purpose of primary education is only to cultivate children's creativity.
Attitudes towards grades are different: for children in China, a bad report card will put him under pressure from all sides. But in the United States, every student's year-end report card is private property, and parents will not put too much pressure on their children. Scores are far less important than abilities in adults' minds, but the aim of most students in China is to "get high marks".
There are differences in the views of knowledge between the two countries: China's education pays attention to the accumulation and indoctrination of knowledge, cultivates students' respect for knowledge and authority, inherits knowledge and constructs a knowledge system. The United States pays more attention to cultivating students' practical ability to use knowledge, questioning knowledge and authority, criticizing spirit and expanding and creating knowledge. These two kinds of education express different attitudes towards knowledge, that is, the static difference between China's education and the dynamic difference between the United States, which reflects the difference of knowledge views between the two countries.
The environment in which the two countries provide this student is different: American schools encourage children to do research from an early age, and cultivate their research ability, the ability to deal with problems independently, and the ability to organize sports research methods for research materials. However, under the restriction of exam-oriented education and the influence of traditional ideas, Chinese schools adopt a two-stage strategy of laying the foundation in the primary stage and learning in the advanced stage.
